Re: OT-large format printers
ditto, plotters can get VERY pricey, anywhere from starting at a few grand up to a nice luxury car. If you only have a few kinkos will be a better bet. Unless by large format you mean only around prints of 13x9 or so. -Richard Bae richardbae.com On 7 May 2004, at 21.25, john slavin wrote: Hello all: I have scanned some very large, very old maps that genealogists are interested in.

John Slavin Hello John, Kinkos, in WA State, uses one similar to what we use in our sign business, an Encad Novajet, 300 dpi [ours 600 dpi]. You can find used ones on the market for under $5,000. We found one on eBay, great working order, for less than that. The cable cost is an extra $125.00 to $250.00 or more depending on the printer to interface with a Mac. Epson, HP, Canon also make large format printers. http://www.large-format-printers.org/ The above domain name is self explanatory. : ) RK Rossi -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

John Slavin Large format printers are usually deemed to print 24 wide and above. Look at the Epson 7600, or larger 9600. All are colour, but can print BW. Both are expensive, unless are are a wealthy hobbyist or plan to use it for a paying business. If you can get by with A3+ the 1290s (or 1280 in USA) is a good printer costing around GBP 300 here. You may find it more economical to send jobs out to a print shop. Steve Bell -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If it's for the occasional printout, I would go to a local Kinko's or a printing place and have them printed there. I use an E size HP plotter at my office and it works out good for these types of things, but they are not cheap to purchase. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Easier to drag your files to a place like Kinkos (print shop). They not only have large format printers, but they're much higher quality than any you'd want to buy... - Dan. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
